Thanks for my bit of humor for the day.

I think we have plenty of hadicap spots here. Cripes half the parking lots are blue spaces. But we have some folks that will run you over trying to get to one while your driving to a non-handicap spot. Heaven forbid someone gets it before them. There is one car in particular I have seen around here. Its a Jeep Wrangler, has Purple heart tags, a handicap tag and some 20 something driving it. And I have seen her park in the blue spots. That just makes me mad. Its probably in her dads name and hes prob a Vietnam vet and deserves it, but she sure as H dont.

Jeff I know someone thats sort of in the market on the Delphi board. He had his "new to him" RSV about a couple weeks and a kid pulled out of a parking lot right infront of him and he hit him broad sided. Oh yea a Deputy Sherrff hit the kid too. Hes OK but minus a RSV. I think he is in Tx.

Added some info to post #10. See above.

I have done one. The kit I got was plug and play for the most part. It came with a realy and a complete harness. Only thing I needed was about 3ft of 14ga wire I think. Send me an e-mail and I can try to send you some pics of the install. Ballest mounted off of the radio frame so it dont rattle and gets air. Power from battery and closing power comes off the signal from the aux power outlet. Per request. Nuttn fancy

I have got to be missing SOMETHING !!!! I installed the realy nice and tidy. I even put a couple of wires on the #30 and #87 pins with bayonet connecters so I can install a switch if I want later. I slaved in a switch to see if it worked and it will allow the bike to turn over but will not run. What wires need to be connected where to allow the bike to run if the switch goes completly out? It certainly is not the harness side of the Red and Brown/Blue wires. Thats where I have my switch and it will not run. So if a switch here dont allow it to run, why put one in?

On the newer engines (coil on plug hemi style) cars we allways blow the holes out with compressed air.

Thanks Joe. "Real" pics sometimes give me a better feel of what I'm looking at vs the drawiings in the book. I himmed and hawed for a couple days and just said screw it and bought the tool off e-bay. It looks like the way I put milage on this bike so far every 2 years I'm going to be in there. I seriously doubt any shims will need swapping out this time. But sure as heck I aint got it and they will. Skydoc has a kit he loans out but 1 time of shipping it to and fro and I have just about paid for mine. Besides now If someone down this way needs to in Fla and I got time we can maybe do it. Just seems like so dang much stuff to disasseblt to do routeen maintence. Hyd lifers sure as heck would have been nice. If there is another bike in my future its gonna have them.

Randy it sure seems like it aint far from pulling a head. LOL There sure is alot of stuff that needs to come off for routeen maintence.

I'm going to have to check mine here by about the first of the year. 28k showing. I just re-read the procedure. Man I sure as heck didnt remember reading you had to just about disassemble the dang bike to do it.

What PSI do we need to stay under? What about one like this? Its hard to tell exactly how big these other pumps are from just pics.

Honestly I'll tell ya. At one time I was looking for a second bike and the gen 1 and the gen 1 Kawasaki Voyager were high on the list. I do like the sort of squared up look. I like the looks of the Victory Vision also, because its not the cookie cutter touring look.

Yea I know but thats what happens when your board I guess. So far I have managed to keep track of the nuts for mine. But it aint been easy. I like the drawer knob idea thats pretty cool. Have also thought about the wing nut. I dont often need to get under the seat but, when I do you allways seem to fight the nut and being ably to turn it in such a tight area.

Just looked at that camera at Tiger Direct. Couple things I picked up on reviews was it recods same thing twice to card. One high quality the other a lower for the social media posting crowd. The low setting cant be turned off so it eats space on SD card. The other said something about not being able to change settings without a PC. Whic kind of makes sense as there is no screen to see what you are selecting. I was thinking maybe one of the older handy cam type outfits. Sometimes you can find them around $40. Some have a mount hole and you could fabricate a bracket up.

Thats why we get paid the big bucks. So do you go all the way thru like you are sewing it back together? Or is it more like pieces and its staples? If its sewn could a fellow after its stiched could you hook up some low voltage like 9v or so to each end of wire and let it heat up and bond that way?

Maybe someone has some experience a little more with the bodywork. I would suggest stop drilling the crack so it can not move anyfurther. At the end of the crack use a small drill bit and dril thru. This essentually "ends" the crack. Then add your glue/filler it shoud help terminate the crack.

I was thinking they would be black and white.

Didnt get here fast enough to get an answer in. You have to remove the big nut in the middle of the seat behind the handlebars first.

I'm still baffled by this bike needing a fuel pump as it is carb and none of my old like 92 GS1100 Suzuki and KZ 650 had a pump that I remember. So if you replace the points, it sounds as though thats the piece of the pie that goes bad, not necessarly the pup its self.

Man I did not even think the bulb might be yellow. After I read the link that was posted I remembered seeing all those yellowish headlights over in Europe when I would make trips there in the USAF. Never ocured to me there might be some of those bulbs floating around over here. You now see alot of the blue types in cars and bikes. As a matter of fact my HID is the 6000 color spectrum which is brite white with a tinge of blue. Work great.

Had 230 Tourmaster on my 900 Vulcan prior to trading. I only got to put about 3K on it but it looked as good as the day I pu it on. It was a front. I have thought about it, especially on the the front. Got Michelin commanders on sale last year so thats what I went with.

My experience with these excersise things is this. The wife bought one more of one of those ski machine types. But anyways it started in the living room. It did fold up which helped. But so now this thing is in living room, if you want to watch TV you have to move it. So finnaly it ends up in the office. So when I want to do something in the office I have to fold and move the thing. Then you need in the closet, guess where machine is....yup move it again. I swear the only person that got any excersise from that thing was me moving it out of my way.

Welcome home. Hope your surgery works as good for you as mine did.

Dennis I'm in Sebring/Avon Park. Almost dead center of state. If you need something or have an idea drop a PM. My trailer is gone but still have the 3/4 ton adn if it fits on a trailer I'm relativly sure it will hook and go. Jenson area is nice. Far enough north you dont have all the refugee things Miami are has, traffic, nutty drivers etc. We have taken a couple days over there and really liked it.

I have made a couple "few hundred" milers here in Fla. Meet and eats buzzing over the in-laws. The 2 big trips were here in central Fl to Toronto and back via Charlotte NC, Williamsburg PA and then back expressway. (I was pressed for time comming home). In Oct the wife and I went to just south of Ashville NC for a week. Majority of back roads up and back. Went to the Biltmore house, downtown Ashville one afternoon to shope and site see, Wheels Through TIme in Maggie, and some just god couple day rides. On the way home we slid by Savannha Ga for a couple days and then home. I put like 5500 miles on in about 4 weeks time.
